I’ve started watching the new HBO show “Westworld“. The idea surrounding the show is one that intrigues me. What does being human mean? How do we as humans distinguish ourselves from technology?

In the second episode (not a spoiler, promise), a character asks the question “Are you real?” The response is exactly why I’m going to like this show a lot. And why it will spawn several forthcoming posts. “If you can’t tell the difference, does it matter?”
